I'll start having classes again on Thursday!

Hi! It's been a long time since the last time I wrote something here.

So, in fact... I haven't been playing since August. I know that's not good, but I had a lot of reasons - I've recently graduated, got a new job, moved to another town, had to find a place to live, had to learn the things about the new city, job, etc, all of this since September. The process only ended in mid-December, when I finally started working where I work now.

Now, I want my musical life back. I wanted before, but I didn't want to study in hotel rooms and really had too many things to deal with.

Anyway, I've scheluded a class on this Thursday, with a new teacher. I don't know yet if I'm staying with him. I'm actually going to his studio to meet him and see what he thinks about me being his student and what he has to offer (and, of course, I'll talk about my intentions and what I have to offer).

Unfortunately I'm still without my violin, my mother will come to visit me next week and will bring it just then. But that's okay, I talked about this with my new teacher and he said I can borrow one of his violins for the week. And yes, I know I won't be able to show him very much of my 'potential', or at least, what I know, as I haven't been playing for some time now, but I really can't wait much more to start having classes again. And I certainly can talk about what I can do - and show him next week.

I just hope he doesn't think I'm just an adult student who doesn't want to take violin seriously. I really do, and playing the violin well is one of my biggest dreams. Maybe I'll make a list with what I want to tell him before starting. I also hope he's a good teacher and I'd be glad if he had good knowledge. My last piano teacher (yes, I also play the piano) wasn't comfortable with me playing Beethoven sonatas because she thought SHE was not ready to teach them for me.

Wish me luck!
